Bob, your point is well taken. Thanks for showing me your car up close at Daytona! Maybe you remember talking on Saturday to me. I'm Jason, also running Xtant (not the high end though)
in my F150. How did the car do on Sunday?
Well hope to bump into you again sometime and get a listen to that car, it's my kinda ride.

Hi Jason.
Yes I remember you.
The car did well. I took home two 1st place trophies: one in IASCA StreetX 1-600 and one in MECA Custom.

Definitely not.
Be merciful and allow others to have a chance, will you?
On second thought...
Go ahead! enjoy yourself! and keep on winning!!
Take care, and see you at SVR.

But anyways I had a question for you?
I won SBN db drag SS 3-4 class with a 163.0 on the new sensor, should I compete? :p
I should probably stop competing too after winning IDBL no wall and street c at SBN.
lol

I thought I would add a little bit to this. For first USACi and dB Drag competition I had two Lightning Audio Bolts in sealed boxes and a 80 watt 4 channel amplifier. Placed first in USACi due to power classes, and didn't make top 8 in my class for db Drag. You just need to find the organization that your system fits best in and just go for it.
I have since decided to do SQ, and my first show I had factory head unit, factory front speakers, a 100 watt 2-channel amp, powering the same Lightning Audio subs. Placed 2nd in my class out of two, but I got a lot of helpful hints on how to make my system better. It wasn't flashy but the class I was in it didn't need to be flashy. Again, research the organizations and just find the organization that you think your system will do the best in, and don't be afraid to ask question, or a demo of other people's cars. Listen to the judges tips also.

Where can I find out about local Competitions? There must be some kind of website with national listings, yes ?

Depends on where you live in GA. Like Andy said there is quite a bit going on. In Dawsonville there will robably be 3 IASCA or MECA events, Neil Barber hosts quite a few dB Drags down in Thomasville. Augusta has a few dB Drags. IASCA and dB Drag are prevalent in the panhandle of Florida. Over Athens way there shuld be an event or two. Alabama has quite a few MECA shows.
I think that about covers it:)

I have a couple questions, but first, I am changing out 75% of what's currently in my Jeep, so don't bother too much reading the signature.
1) My Jeep is a daily driver. Jeep's being the equivelant of brick walls on wheels, I have a few rock hits on my windshield.
Are any of the cars in these competitions Daily Drivers, and if so, is it ok to have a few highway battle wounds?
2) What kind of music is played during a SQ competition... do you bring your own music or is it a standard song(s) that everyone has to use?
3) If you place, do you get a trophy or something? How do you have proof for your friends back home that you won/placed?

daily drivers are fine. You still have to give it a thorough detail as if you were going to give it to the president. I plan on competing this year and I have about $5000 worth of body damage. Im still going to wash it very well and give it a really good wax job.
the music that is played is from that organizations competition cd from that year. check out ISASCA, USACi, and MECA websites for info on purchasing their cds. usually 1,2,and 3 get trophies. all competitors get a score sheet.

If you compete in a regular class in IASCA (class with SQ, Install, RTA and SPL), body damage is not to be considered, but as said above, the vehicle should be detailed
If you compete in SQC in IASCA, they just judge Sound Quality--nothing else. Just how does it sound. So how the vehicle looks doesn't matter at all.
In MECA they just judge Sound Quality. How the vehicle looks means nothing.
I have no clue about USACi.
MECA has the rules on line. http://www.mecacaraudio.com so does usaci http://www.soundoff.org . IASCA makes you purchase a rule book to find out what the rules are :rolleyes:
I compete in MECA and IASCA.

IASCA used to have their rules online. they must have taken them off somewhat recently. that sux. I have pretty much given up on the exterior on my car. the people of colorado have no respect for other peoples cars. I think i have more dents from people opening their doors into mine than the $3k worth of hail damage. I was also forced to run over a large black plastic chunk on the interstate recently which left deep groves in both my front and rear bumpers. the car has officially turned into a beater. the interior though, I pay special detail to when modifying. I have complete control over how it looks and that is all that matters to me. i will never win a best of show contest but that doesnt stop me from creating the best SQ vehicle I possibly can.
